Great golf in a real desert environment!

This is a challenging course, lots of strategically placed sand traps, a little water, some elevated tees, some elevated greens. Everything a golfer wants to stay interested! Thank you Terra Lago.

Mountains in your face

It is great to be up against the mountains and sometimes the ball bounces off them!

Tougher than it looks

Elevated greens need more club. Players are not filling divots so course is all hacked up and I think it has already been overseeded for the season. A shame, as it is a beautiful course otherwise. Couldn't help feeling like I was playing in the wash most of the time.

Last days at Firecliff for 2019/2020 season turf

It is the last few days of play on the old turf. The Mountain View course is ready and the switch will be soon. The greens are really fast right now at Firecliff. Play is fine in the field. Bunkers are in ok shape. I saw 2 huge coyotes roaming around the 11th hole I think it was. I was really grateful to find sauerkraut for my hot dog at the turn. Thanks for a nice round of golf!

You shouldn't be allowed to play this golf course!

This is a beautiful golf property, in a luxury housing development, and I can hardly believe that it is open to the public. I was visiting the San Diego area and this is one of the best kept secrets in Southern California. Elevation, drop offs, curves, desert vs grass fairways. Beautiful! I was only able to play 18 of the 27 holes available. Next time.

Dunes Course

Fun course, not too difficult but challenging enough. Many fairways funnel toward the greens at drive landing anyway, then the sand traps surround the greens. Big screen GPS in the carts.

a fine day at Terra Lago

This is a beautiful, long and wide golf course. Not much water. I only had to hit out of the dirt a couple of times, mostly generous fairways. No brewed tea on the service cart, all sugary drinks, and service is spotty, not on a committed schedule. Go play it, you won't regret it!

Long and wide, a beautiful course

Surprised by how long and wide this course plays. Somehow I managed not to lose a single golf ball! This one is worth playing regularly, looking forward!

A first class golf day

A beautiful golf course, long enough, interesting interaction with the water on several holes. Very pleasant, mostly straight fairways, wide enough to stay out of trouble. No cart service on the course but a great grill at the turn, called The Turn. Thanks to the S, Rich

Mountain + Royal courses

I played 2 of the three nine hole courses and they were great! It was the shoulder time when grass is yellowish and overseeding has not happened yet. Only one green gave trouble due to the conditions. A nice course and facility, a little low on foodservice/to go stuff for golfers, so bring your own. Had a nice round and a great value, thanks!

Golf in the Wash / Whitewater River

Beautiful course. I teed off at 1:30 and only finished 14 holes. Need to tee off by 12 or 12:30 at the latest at this time of year anyway, November.

Dried up and dying

This place looks more like a municipal course running out of money. Sad, overgrown unkempt clubhouse. Big sign out front - NO OUTSIDE FOOD OR BEVERAGE - then they don't have anything available to purchase. Thank you very little. There is so much other, better golf in the valley, give up if can't do a good job of it.
